Singapore - Force India's Nico Hulkenberg had a Singapore GP to forget on Sunday when he crashed out after 12 laps following a collision with Felipe Massa's Williams.

He was given a grid penalty for the next race.

Hulkenberg started in 11th place and had made his first pit stop at the Marina Bay Street Circuit but was broadsided by the Massa, who was exiting the pitslane at high speed after making his first tyre change.

'I got hit in the back'

Hulkenberg's car was briefly airborne before it slammed into the barriers at Turn Three while Massa was able to continue despite suffering damage to his bodywork and front wing but was later forced to retire on the 31st lap.

Massa, for his part, felt the penalty was justified: "Well, I think honestly the penalty is correct. I was inside. He just turned the car over my car... I couldn't do anything. For sure, what he did was not correct."
